All restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child seat which must never be
removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults
and wear seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat has child seats for each weight
group. These devices are recommended, having been
specifically designed for Fiat cars.WARNING
DANGER: Do not put cradle seats facing
backw
ards on the front seat if the front
passenger air bag is enabled.
Deployment of the air bag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to the child.
It is advisable to carry children on the rear seat ,
which is the most protected position in the
event of an accident . Child seats must not be
fitted on the front seat of vehicles with a
passenger air bag; their deployment in
an accident , however serious, could cause fatal
injuries to the child. If necessary, children can
travel in the front seat , if the front passenger air
bag can be disabled. In this case, check that
the air bag is actually deactivated by making
sure the “ warning light appears on the
instrument panel (see “Front passenger air bag”
in the “Front air bags” section). Also, the
passenger seat should be as far back as possible
to avoid contact between the child seat and
the dashboard.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front airbags for driver and
passenger (for versions/markets where provided).
The front driver/passenger airbags (for versions/
markets, where provided) are designed to protect
the front-seat occupants in the event of head-on
crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the bag
between the occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Non-activation in other types of crash (side-on
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is therefore
not a sign of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate, if
necessary, in the event of a head-on crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously, placing itself
between the front occupant's body and the
structures which could cause injury. It will deflate
immediately afterwards.
Front driver/passenger airbags (for versions/markets,
where provided) are not a replacement for, but
rather a complement to, the seat belts, which should
be worn at all times as specified by law in Europe
and most non-European countries.
In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a
seat belt will move forward and come into contact
with the bag which is still opening. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in such a case.
Front airbags may not be activated in the following
situations:❒head-on impacts against highly deformable objects
that do not affect the front surface of the vehicle
(e.g. front wing hitting a guard rail);
❒vehicle getting wedged under other vehicles or
protective barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they could not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their activation would
not be worthwhile. In these cases, non-deployment
of the airbag does not necessarily indicate a system
malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects to
t
he steering wheel, the dashboard in
the passenger side airbag area and the seats.
Do not place objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger side dashboard because these could
interfere with the correct opening of the airbag
and cause severe injur y to occupants.
The front driver and passenger airbags are designed
and calibrated to best protect front-seat passengers
wearing seat belts. The volume of the front airbags at
maximum inflation fills most of the space between
the steering wheel and the driver and between
the dashboard and the passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of small
head-on collisions (for which the withholding action
of the seat belts is sufficient). Seat belts must always

be worn. In the event of head-on collisions, they
ensure the correct positioning of the occupant.
FRONT AIRBAG DRIVER'S SIDE
This consists of an instant-inflating bag contained in a
special compartment in the centre of the steering
wheel fig. 109.
FRONT AIRBAG PASSENGER'S SIDE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in
a special compartment in the dashboard: this bag
has a larger volume than the driver's.fig. 110WARNING
SEVERE DANGER: Do not put cradle
seat
s facing backwards on the front seat
if the front passenger airbag is enabled.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the child. Always
deactivate the passenger airbag when placing a
child seat on the front seat . Also, the passenger
seat should be as far back as possible to avoid
contact between the child seat and the
dashboard. Although this is not mandatory by
law, the airbag should be immediately
reactivated when children are no longer carried
to ensure better protection for adults.
